Are Sports Drinks Healthy for Teens ?

There are so many types of sport drinks out there and allot of different flavors and brands. The most popular brands is Gatorade and Powerade.


      Teen athletes would drink sport drinks because its easy and accessible and tastes great and  advertizes the energy it gives but they don't always work out because some teens would just drink sport drinks even if there not  doing a sport just to drink it around the house or something like that. The sport drinks only work if your doing a sport. If your just sitting around doing nothing but drinking these drinks, its very unhealthy and just as bad a pops.

Its a much better choice to drink water. It may not taste as good and not look as cool but it is way better for you and doesn't have all thee chemicals that these sport drinks have. If your trying to stay active and energized and healthy just drink water and eat healthy.

The advantages about sport drinks is that it can replace food and if you are in a sport it can get you energized for a big game.  They are also very tasty and they draw your eye when you want to buy them plus they advertising business advertises them very well so you would want to buy it.

All the sugar and the chemicals that they put in the drinks is so bad for you. They have 14g of sugar per 8 ounces and 225 calories in them.

So i would recommend water and healthy foods. Its always the best thing. Water will keep you hydrated but sport drinks after awhile you will just get tired and you wont feel so great.

And sorry ms.lees for this being so late i finally found where it was under drafts it took me awhile.
